10/8/2025 for One Couple of Days Poetry Contest sponsored by Charles Messina
One couple of days, by the deep orange sea, a sober drunk sailor met a chaste mermaid with two legs and a fee. Nine months later, at the ripe age of eight, I was born right on time, though I was quite late. My dear mother knew how to raise this orphan boy right - I was a pacifist and always got in a fight. Dropping out of school on a Harvard scholarship, I stayed at home smoking as I went on a trip.
